Which photographer said, "If your photograph was no good, it was because you weren't close enough?"

Robert Capa, before he got too close to the mine that killed him, while covering Indochina. The exact quote is:

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."

That reminds me. Yesterday while we were walking I incorrectly quoted Garry Winograd's answer when asked why he photographs. Here is the correct quote:

"I have a burning desire to see what things look like photographed by me."

At another time he stated:

"Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed."

I also love his answer to how he felt about missing photographs while he reloaded his camera with film:

"There are no photographs while I'm reloading."
